- impersonator_ip — sorry to jump in anyone in japan paying out of pocket and what does that look like 21:58
slightly off topic but singapore pricing, anyone able to put a number on it
every price in this channel is a snapshot from the month it was typed. pricing in the region moved a lot and unevenly

forty percent apart
held for 21 days
get it tested anyway
as of about a year ago korea had the shortest path from deciding to starting of anywhere members here had described
japan approved it
member reported range
the honest position on india is that i have seen good material and bad material and the paperwork told me nothing either way, ill dig out the number
*PeptideMeter not the other one
closer supplier, fewer flight hours, same number of customs steps. the steps are the slow part
transit inside the region ran 21 days for me, which was not faster than a longer route with a better carrier
write it down for the pharmacy
no letter no charge
anyone compared a japanese pharmacy price against a private clinic in the region
nobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you are and that is enforced in this channel
genuine question coming back after 23 months, has anything changed on availability in the region
follow up i treat a claim about an indian generic the way i treat any claim about any product. get a lot number and get it tested
customs between asian countries has not been noticeably easier in anything members have reported. each border is its own border

i was wrong about japanese pricing by a factor of two when i quoted it in here, because i was quoting a clinic and somebody else was quoting a pharmacy, thats one data point
language with a local pharmacy went better once i brought the compound name written down. spoken, it never worked once
korea has a clinic culture where this is straightforward to obtain, and members reported that as both a convenience and a concern
singapore was reported in here at around 400 to 600 singapore dollars a month a year or so ago, prescription only
anyone shipped from inside the region and had it take longer than from further away
summer shipping matters here too. i avoid july and august the way australian members avoid january
diabetes indication only
🤝1🙏2
update from 25 months ago: availability in the region is broadly the same and the prices i track are slightly higher
japanese insurance covered the diabetes indication and not the weight one as far as anyone here could establish a year ago
japan approved it for both indications a while ago as i understood it, and the approval did not make it cheap
is it easier to get seen about this in korea than in europe

factory_direct_finobody here can tell you what will clear customs where you are and that is enforced in…
a parcel of mine was held inside the region and released after 26 days with no letter and no charge
insurance in the region tracked the diabetes indication in every country a member reported on
a member in hong kong and a member in singapore compared the same dose and came out about forty percent apart
japan approved it a while back didnt it, what does it cost there
i keep the compound name and the dose written in the local language in my phone and it has been more useful than any app, anyway
a korean member said their clinic visit took under an hour end to end, which is not a claim about the quality of the assessment
hong kong, is it pharmacy or clinic in practice
a member in tokyo reported an out of pocket cost in the region of twenty thousand yen a month in 2024, at a clinic
